When people reach out to me, they are usually concerned about a healthcare situation or a decline in functioning and are looking for professional support and guidance understanding and accessing care options. I understand that each person’s situation is different and there may be variables that need to be considered when developing an appropriate care plan. I offer different levels of services in both Care Advisory and Long Term Care Insurance consulting. Below you can see the details of each.
Because of numerous variables that impact each personal situation, I start every inquiry with a 15 minute complimentary discovery call to see if your situation is something I can assist with and to offer input as to which service might be right for you.
This package includes a 75 minute in-home comprehensive care assessment with customized recommendations, resources and referrals. Upon scheduling this appointment you will be asked to complete an initial intake prior to the scheduled meeting. Included in this package is a 30 minute follow up session (phone call or zoom) scheduled 1-2 weeks after the initial consultation.
This package includes a 60 minute call (phone call or Zoom) to review written recommendations that will be created after the initial discovery call. This might include specific resources and referrals tailored towards your unique needs. Written recommendations, referrals and direct introductions to providers will be made if desired.
This 30 minutes call (phone or Zoom) will address specific questions and concerns about your situation. This may be used if the Comprehensive Care Management Consultation and/or Care Management Resource Call don't fit your situation. During this session, we will focus directly on your unique questions and concerns, leveraging my professional knowledge, extensive resources, and elder care network to guide you through your specific circumstances.
*Some Long Term Care (LTC) insurances offer reimbursement for Care Coordination/ Care Advisory services. Typically these benefits are only reimbursed once the claimant is approved under the LTC claim. Payment is expected from the client at time of scheduling services. If you are found to be eligible for reimbursement of these services under your LTC benefits we will submit necessary invoices and credentials required for reimbursement of services rendered.
